Alongside supporting project budgeting and cashflow forecasting, Cathy facilitates finance learning so that artists are equipped with better understanding of how to manage their money. Cathy regularly holds workshops for self employed artists, graduates, students and creatives across the UK, and CWC hold yearly tax support in December and January to lessen the worries for the self assessment period.

Cathy supports artists and organisations to strategise and build their company or project from the ground up. Whether a first phase R&D project, an NPO application or a rebrand, Cathy works with people to realise a meaningful and successful build. We find that this work usually encompasses all aspects of Cathy’s consulting, combining expertise in finance, access and bid writing to culminate in strategy support.

Cathy is a regular speaker for conferences, on panels and discussion thinktanks. Cathy travels internationally to advocate and share learning around access and inclusion, specifically in the importance of language and reversing negative stereotypes within disability and the Arts.
